Abstract :
This paper is an overview of the AVENUE project at Columbia University. AVENUE´s main goal is to automate the site modeling process in urban environments. The first component of AVENUE is a 3-D modeling system which constructs complete 3-D geometric models with photometric texture mapping acquired from different viewpoints. The second component is a planning system that plans the Next-Best-View for acquiring a model of the site. The third component is a mobile robot we have built that contains an integrated sensor suite for automatically performing the site modeling task. We present results for modeling buildings in New York City
